General context of IoTInternships in Internet of Things

Internet of Things (IoT) growth …• Unprecedented growth of connected devices:

20~46 billions(*) devices expected in 2020(*) The Future X Network book, §11 – The future of the Internet of Things

• Promise of a new era of digital services

… but limited usage of IoT devices • People buy connected devices for a limited experience• Standard users do know:

1) How to configure the network to use them properly; 2) What services they can offer together;3) Which software to get the best service experience.

How to better leverage available connected devices in personalized services?

IoT control & service managementInternships in Internet of Things

Nokia Internal Use

Need for digital assistance in IoT !

1. Communication control between IoT devices• Need for flexible network configuration layer• Software-Defined LANs = on-demand, dynamic &

secure dedicated micro-networks for devices

2. IoT service recommendation• Universal description of IoT service classes to guide

end-users in finding the right objects in the right spaces for their requested IoT services– Focus on physical functions and their interactions

• Coupling with the network configuration layer:– Demo @ Nokia Campus Event, Paris-Saclay, Oct. 2017

Potential topics for internships (I)Internships in Internet of Things

Nokia Internal Use

• Implementation of a high-speed traffic generator for SDN-based network node (requirements: Java or/and C/C++, OpenFlow, networking): design either in Java or in C/C++ a traffic generator which can be deployed as a Virtual Network Function (Cf. ETSI VNF) to easily load a SDN-based network (e.g. on-field traffic load test or SLA verification).

Contact: Dinh Thai Bui [email protected]

• Automated recommendation of APIs to make IoT service work: Creation of a large API database related to connected devices, assessment and optimization of API methods classification algorithms (both actuators and sensors). Final objective: automatic recommendation of API ( / APPs) related to any IoT service instance

Contact: Michel Le Pallec [email protected]

• Deep analysis of a very large database of IoT devices to build a large catalog of IoT device models with the information about their capabilities (IoT, data analysis, programming)

Contact: Ludovic Noirie [email protected]
